Darn it, I'm never winning those bets am I, always a week early. Can't even bet on a late night thing like the current leak, that sort of find only happens once.
Wednesday is easily the worst day for me. I get home super late and have to sleep early since classes at morning on thursday.

Maybe they don't have confidence like SSC?

I doubt it and I doubt they lacked confidence for SSC as well. My guess is to keep fans waiting less time for release (After revealing of course)

Oooh, JayeA suggested something cool about a weapon gimmick on the news thread - magnets for you to snap the weapons into place. Considering how strong the Swap Force ones are, maybe have it under the plastic so a Skylander can hold the weapon in whatever angle, if not just rest it on their knuckles/mouth/feet randomly.

I would agree if they still had to show it to anyone, but this is only a matter of revealing it to the world.
What has been done has been done, too late to feel inconfident.

But I understand if they are generally not that sure about the reactions, after SuperChargers...

That's definitely how I imagine a gimmick like that: it wouldn't feel like a "SWAP Force 2" just because of the magnets.

However, I prefer to go with angeleg theory of Battlecast's cards actually unlocking items/powers/features in the game.
It would be 100% optional, just like traps, but would encourage people to buy cards even if they don't own the mobile game.

Oh, just to clear things up, that "4" in the message definitely means "for", as in "for Skylanders".
Just average Internet language. smilie

Nope, and to be fair it isn't even confirmed it will happen next week: just that they could reveal it starting from next week.
But I honestly see no reason not to reveal it on either Wednesday or Friday.

I'm expecting a few hints and teasers on the socials, this weekend.

Quote: Swap Force Fan
I am really putting my wages on the reveal being next Wednesday. I could really imagine Activision revealing every future Skylanders game on the first Wednesday in June. It just seems very credible to me. It would help them manage fixed schedules on when to reveal more characters/information, and it would give a sense of certainty to their fans. I may be wrong, but if I were in charge of Skylanders news and reveals, that is what I would do.

E3 isn't until the 13th, so they very well could do the 6th for the number patter. But the 6th isn't a part of next week. That consists of the 29th of May to the 4th of June. Everyone is guessing Wednesday because the last 2 games were announced on Wednesdays.

Actually, they were talking with the Toy person about amiibo and she let it slip that she had an embargo I think because she wanted to discuss something about the future game mechanic and was wondering when the episode will be put out.

They looked a lot cheaper than normal Skylanders/amiibo and they only work on a few consoles when the whole POINT of SKYLANDERS is that all the figures will be compatible in future titles and on different platforms. Plus, they contributed heavily to the Starter Pack-maggedon that was Superchargers. They're cool characters to play as, but they FAILED on several levels
84skylanderdude Platinum Sparx Gems: 5540
#1184 Posted: 03:17:54 28/05/2016
^ All the Skylanders look cheap. And Wii U is the most popular console if I'm not mistaken. Skymiibos were a great marketing move to get Amiibo fans interested in Skylanders. And the point isn't that they're compatible with future titles or different platforms, where'd you pull that from? The point is they're toys to life, that's it.

I think that the problem is only the compatibility with all consoles. I think that I was never in favor of console-exclusive content in games, so I find a little unfair for PS and XBox users to have less characters than Nintendo ones. Aside from that, one of the main staples of the games are the "all toys compatible with all consoles thing", so the Amiibo Skylanders have gone against it, and I didn't really liked that.

I was actually pretty excited when they announced the Skylanders Amiibo, but I take this into consideration before making it again.

Actually, the Wii U is the third most popular console. The first one is the Wii, and the second one is the XBox 360.

Maybe my memory is failing me, but wasn't a thing in the original ads "bring your skylanders and use them on a friend's console"? With the Skymiibo it's "bring your figures and vehicles and use them on a friends console unless they play on XBox, Play Station or mobile devices". As fun as the 2 are, they break a big rule of the franchise. And I have personal issues with them as DK took Spitfire's spot in the WiiU starter.

Quote:

Before they were announced they said "20 characters and 20 vehicles" which implied 2 of each element. Yet Bowser, DK and their vehicles count as 4 with Light and Dark only getting one character and one vehicle each. So they really sort of took other spots that could have been filled with more unique characters.

The Skymiibos were pretty cheap looking. There was really no excuse for that (all the other TTL figures are pretty well crafted). Though I'm not totally on board with Skymiibos, I'm looking forward to what the future might hold.

They said 20 because of the Skymiibos, though. Had it not been for the Skymiibos they would've just said 18 (or 36, including the vehicles). Light and Dark only got one Supercharger for the same reason they only got one Trap Master. Light and Dark are meant to be less common than the other elements and they will always get less figures for that reason.

Plus, half the figures in Superchargers were reposes, and I doubt VV was ever planning to make Light and Dark reposes.

Something tells me battlecast cards will be the gimmick of sky 6. The portal may have a card reader of some sort of technology which allows cards to be loaded into the game. The cards will unlock different stuff: stats boost, elemental changes, teams up with villains, extra lifes, etc. I haven't discarded yet the theory of weapons though, stills be possible due to the fact that weapons seemed to have a lot of emphasis on the new arts of golden queen and pain-guy.

Just a note on consoles popularity (I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, so sorry if it seems like it, not my intention):

The Wii U is far from being the most popular console of the new gen, in fact it's the last one, and quite a dissapointment for nintento. PS4 has already surpassed the 40 million units sold in only one and half year and if it continues like that it may become one of the best selling consoles of all time:

http://www.ign.com/articles/20...lion-units-sold


The Wii U sales are around 12 million, despite being one year older than ps4:


http://www.ign.com/articles/20...hit-205-million

Xbox one has sold around 19 million as of february 2016 (this figure hasn't been officially confirmed though):

http://www.ign.com/articles/20...8-million-units

Seeing the gap between consoles it comes as logical the release of the NX next year. Not to mention the third party support for Wii U compared to PS4 is like comparing my house with Buckingham palace.

What is true, though, is the 3DS success, which has sold nearly 265 million units as of february 2016 (see link above).

This is in terms of consoles sales. As far as which platform is selling most skylanders games, I don't know as I didn't find any source which I trust enough to take it seriously. It's been said in the past that skylanders sell better in nintendo consoles but I'm curious as to know if it stills be that way at the moment.

Here's the transcript to the podcast that mentioned the reveal date being next week:

Quote: Nintendo Voice Chat
Jose: This might be heresy to some here but I have not been blown away by either [Disney] Infinity or Skylanders in terms of as a game. Skylanders is very much gauntlet, which is fun but it has these figures shackled to it which is fine but...

Alanah: But it doesn't need them.

Jose: Yeah, skylanders could exist just without it.

Alanah: Yeah, and infinity is awesome.

Jose: It is awesome because it's disney.

Alanah: Was.

Andrew: Yeah, RIP.

Jose: RIP, pull one out, but as far as, again it still just felt like a platforming game that didn't need it. You needed it to get that character but what if that character was available from the start.

Alanah: Skylanders... um, when does this air?

Jose: Um, this will air tomorrow.

Alanah: So I have an embargo for next week on skylanders, I'm going to be writing a preview.

Jose: Okay, okay.

Alanah: Which is a really interesting way to deal with toys to life, I'm actually pretty excited about it.

Jose: So it would be an awesome continuation of what we're basically talking about?

Alanah: Yeah, yeah.

Jose: Oh, okay maybe we should talk to you next week about it just to hear more about it.

Alanah: Yeah, it's just really cool.


Alternatively, here's a link to the podcast. Skip to 47:30 for the skylanders discussion.
